Expect fireworks at the GOP debate as the battle for second place heats up.
GOP presidential debatefound DeSantis and Haley are locked in a distant second in the Iowa caucuses, where a dominant Trump showing on Jan. 15 could render the rest of the primary a formality.
Both of the potential Trump alternatives are casting their rival as a "spoiler" with no path to the nomination — setting the stage for tomorrow's melee in Miami."Simply put, without Ron DeSantis in this primary, Trump is the Republican nominee," the memo argues. "Every dollar the Pro-Haley community collects or spends should also be listed as an 'in-kind' contribution on Trump's campaign FEC reports.""EVEN IF DeSantis were to do well in Iowa, which is a big 'if' given his current decline, he is in such a weak position in New Hampshire and South Carolina that it doesn't matter.
